Salt Peanuts Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Congrat. Guess I should get with program at some point. While I've always meant to get naturalized, the part of reason I finally did it (aside from now I'm married with a child along withe second one on the way) was economic and timing. My green card is expiring relatively soon. The current cost of naturalization processing is $680. The current cost of renewing a green card is $450. I had no desire to pay $450 sometime next year just to delay paying $680 (or more) for the naturalization process, especially since I'd already done that once before when realized my green card was expiring too late to apply for naturalization previously. Of course, had I done this back in 1998, when I first became eligible for naturalization, it would've only cost me $250.

Nebby Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Grats Haj! Today I got trained on how to use a nice laser engraver. I think I'll have some fun with it in the future The table is 40"x28" and specs say it can hold up to 200lbs, though I'm not sure what you'd want to engrave that weighs that much...

jvlgato Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Huge congrats, Haj! I still remember going to my parent's naturalization when I was a kid. I felt so proud. Very exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlSeibert Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Congrats Haj! One of our photographers was naturalized this week, too. So there in the system was one of those happy new citizen pictures. But this time it was one of 'us'. I found myself staring at that picture for the longest time. Welcome!

Augsburger Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Jacob, so your Yakuza imitation will have to wait for another time? Glad you and the guacamole are OK. How many stitches? Why did you use the Konosuke gyuto rather than your nakiri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ouch, perfect use for spoiler tags, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I see that your insurance doesn't cover cleaning the wound after getting the stitches. Sorry about the pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sorry for your pain, Jacob. I guess they didn't suture the nerve, did they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ouch....hope it feels better soon Jacob. I see a small but god market for finger/thumb guards of some sort for chefs..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 This might get my a 2 week vacation but I'll say it anyways. Have you considered duller knives? To avoid incidents precisely as these? Not being facetious but the statement stems from genuine concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) As any good butcher (my Brother) will tell you, a sharper knife is a safer knife. And a clean cut from a sharper knife will heal better than a cut from a duller knife. Heal fast Jacob! Edited June 29, 2014 by swt61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ouch, ouch, ouch, Jacob. May you heal fast, and I'm sure the tasty guac soothed the pain somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Well that looks painful. Last night, attempted to do a backyard (front yard, technically) camping with my daughter. She eventually decided it was too exciting to fall asleep and we went back inside. This morning, while getting stuff out of my tent we were using, I noticed that just about all the seam tapes/seals on the rain fly have failed or are failing - glad it did not rain last night. I'm not surprised considering its age, but not really not looking forward to sealing the seams again as I don't have large enough floor space to do it it all at once anymore.

n_maher Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ouch @ stitches, if you nicked the tendon give it plenty of time to heal. I'm also with peter, it is probably time to think about what you can do to avoid these episodes in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
